The Bulls Started A Senseless Scuffle That Their Head Coach Then Jumped In On, And I Think It's About Time We Send Them To Organizational Therapy

I know this is a silly proposition due to revenue, and scheduling, and all the other financial implications that come along with telling a team to take a hike to clear their head, but wouldn't the Chicago Bulls benefit from an organizational leave of absence from the NBA?

There is just no good or growing to be done by a team that has no form of recourse other than starting nonsensical scuffles as they get beaten into the basement. It's only goddamn December and the franchise already used the ace up their sleeve to fire a coach of an entirely ill-equipped team only to cause a mini-mutiny against his hard ass of a replacement. I haven't exactly kept my finger on their pulse since, but if Kris Dunn sparking a melee only for Robin Lopez to jump in and psychotically threaten his way into an early exit as their coach puts an opposing player in a headlock is any indication, things aren't exactly trending up in the morale department.

I know professional sports are a business, but if the NBA were your average, run-of-the-mill company then the Bulls, as a collective, would be the disgruntled employee that gets offered either a paid sabbatical or a gracious severance package as it's only a matter of time before he attempts to take down the entire operation out of spite. Obviously that's not possible, but Chicago's front office sure does operate like it is.
